REASONS FOR DECISION:

1. The proposal is aligned with policy directive 22 of the Cape Town Spatial Development Framework as the proposed development is considered as appropriate densification (refer paragraph 6.1.1 of this report).
2. The proposal is compliant with the Densification Policy statements 1, 2, 5 and 6 as it is considered as small scale, incremental densification which provides for a variation in housing options in close proximity to public open space (refer paragraph 6.1.3 of this report).
3. The integrity of the Oude Westhof suburb will not be compromised considering the specific context, the proposed design and considering that intended use will remain residential in nature.
4. The proposed departures are not considered to pose a threat to the integrity of the streetscape or greater character. This is considering the proposed coverage, floor factor, height and design elements which adhere to the City of Cape Town Urban Design Policy (refer paragraph 6.2 of the report).
5. The consolidation is not considered to be out of scale nor is it considered to have a detrimental impact on the surrounding properties (refer paragraph 6.5 of the report).
